LCK's commanding 65.5% implied probability reflects sustained regional dominance, bolstered by Hanwha Life Esports claiming MSI 2026 and T1's status as three-time defending world champions heading into the North American-hosted event. The league's depth—evident in strong domestic splits and roster continuity for squads like Gen.G—secures four direct Worlds slots and positions multiple teams as title contenders. LPL trails at 26.5% amid solid Chinese talent pools but faces consistency gaps in international play despite also earning four seeds. Western and emerging regions trail further, limited by historical head-to-head results and fewer qualification paths, though LEC and LCS retain upset potential through playoff momentum.
